Question: A group of friends enters your establishment, and one individual appears visibly intoxicated. He orders a round of drinks for everyone, including himself. What is your legal obligation under the Liquor Licence and Control Act (LLCA) in this situation?
Answer options: ✅ Serve the drinks to his friends but refuse service to the visibly intoxicated individual.
- Serve the round of drinks as long as his friends agree to monitor him.
- Refuse service of alcohol to the entire group, as a visibly intoxicated person is with them.
- Serve the drinks, but ensure he only drinks non-alcoholic beverages going forward.
Correct answer: Serve the drinks to his friends but refuse service to the visibly intoxicated individual.
Explanation: Under the LLCA, servers must not serve alcohol to anyone who is intoxicated. While you must refuse service to the intoxicated individual, his friends, if not intoxicated themselves, can still be served alcohol. Refusing the entire group (option C) is not required unless they too are intoxicated, and serving him any alcohol (options B and D) would be a violation.
